This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of oriental massage on ADL in patients with stroke. METHODS This study was a systematic literature review and meta-analysis and searched the primary research studies published electronically in Thai and English through five databases: ThaiJO, Thai National Research Repository (TNRR), PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. We analyzed data using RevMan version 5.4 by forest plot graphs. The confidence interval was calculated at the 95% level, and the heterogeneity was tested by Cochran’s Q and I2. RESULTS We identified seven relevant studies that performed ADL on stroke patients after receiving Thai or Chinese massage therapy interventions. We found that Thai and Chinese massage were applied together, emphasizing pressing, rolling, squeezing, gripping, bending, and pulling and herbal compress, which can increase blood flow and reduce muscle spasms. These findings suggest that the duration of massage at 3-weeks and 6-weeks follow-ups can be restored and improve the ability to perform ADL in stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":73419,"journal":{"name":"International journal of AAYUSH and traditional medicine","volume":" 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138617548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of this improvement, more individuals are living with the long-term side effects of cancer treatment. Therefore, methods that incorporate lifestyle and mind-body approaches are becoming increasingly used in the patient treatment pathway. Methods In this study, PranaScience Institute will develop and test a group video mobile application for Yogic Breathing (YB). YB is shown to reduce symptomatic conditions associated with several conditions including breast cancer. For this initial feasibility study, PranaScience will collaborate with the Medical University of South Carolina to implement the study app-based program in breast cancer survivors. This research is aimed to understand if the YB could be delivered via an app, if participants are able to practice it satisfactorily, and if there is any symptom relief by the YB practice. In the control group, participants will be directed to the Attention Control (AC) feature of the app, which guides users to focus on a mindfulness activity not involving YB. Participants will be randomly assigned to the YB or AC study plan (N=20 per group). Breast cancer survivors who have completed radiation therapy within last 2 months will be recruited for this study and provided access to the app for a 12-week program. The study app will record total practice times. Virtual visits by a study yoga instructor during group video sessions will measure participant compliance with proper technique. Feasibility will be examined by evaluating intervention delivery factors and resource needs. Acceptability of using the mobile study app to support symptom management will be evaluated using a satisfaction and system usability scale. Behavioral survey measures will help guide effect sizes and power calculations for the next larger-scale study. Biomarkers in the saliva (tumor suppressors, cytokines), and fingernails (cortisol, differential proteomics) will be measured at baseline and end of study at 12 weeks.
